    K. B. SUMMERFIELD, of Santa Monica, is a native of Vernon, Indiana, born May
15th, 1864. His father, John W. Summerfield, was a lawyer and for many years
practiced his profession at Vernon, the county seat of Jennings County. Later in
life he held for two successive terms the office of County Clerk of Jennings
County. He married Katherine McClaskey. The Summerfields descended from Dutch
ancestors and the McClaskeys were Scotch. Mr. Summerfield passed the days of his
youth in his native town and was educated in the public schools of that place.
He came to California in 1883. For eight years he was in the employ of W. D., W.
S., and E. J. Vawter, acting as an accountant, and for four years he served the
Bassett & Nebeker Lumber Company in the same capacity. Later he held the
position for two years as local manager of the Sunset Lumber Company. He
received the appointment of U. S. Postmaster for Santa Monica, April 6th, 1902
and was reappointed in 1906. He is an efficient and popular public servant.
